Poll: What Film Best Celebrates Personal Independence?

A poll by rubyfruit76
The 4th of July is Independence Day in the United States, a celebration of the American colonies declaring independence from England.

The movies below depict brave individuals who fought seemingly impossible odds to gain independence from social and political injustice, control by others, or their own demons, disabilities, or insecurities. Of the films below, which depicts the struggle for freedom that inspires you the most?
